will-o’- the-wisp (Photo credit: Bingo Jesus)
He was always just out of sight
Leaving his debris behind
He was one with shadow and night
Always so cruel, never kind
He was always just out of reach
Pimpernel-like he would fly
Blink and you’d miss what he’d teach
Winging his way to the sky
He was silence, he was death
Though never the sword came to fall
He was each lie carried on breath
Icy and cold to his call
He was always just out of sight
A trickster, a fool, not a friend
Will o the wisp, a thief in the night
Mystery still without end
